So basically you're saying that the lawsuit will be decided by sentiment, and not legal precedent? I think that's a concern, but I also have more trust in juries than they are given. As an example, many meritless lawsuits against

Reddit has 2 ways of formatting code (4 spaces and triple backticks) but for some reason the triple backtick only works on new-reddit and each reportedly have spotty results on mobile. It's a literal trap: you can format the code corre

Resume screen is definitely the hardest part for most regular devs (aka those without a start up or faang) but once you get one on your resume, the next is usually a breeze. But hey--maybe shotgun approach works.

Do you think we should have shorter time spans? How short? Should star wars be public domain? Harry Potter? It's not an easy answer. Not everything is a hit right away... Some things like Song ofnIce and Fire only became hits decades l

I think this shows how difficult interpretations can be. The interviewer was probably just kidding around, but given the stakes and the unfamiliar environment, it was probaboy a rough comment. It's a good lesson in behavior. Even profe

The recommendations are very sane. Actually I would say they are so obvious they are nearly cliche. The controversial stuff is not stated explicity: Removing advanced classes, forcing all students to adhere to the same curriculum, and gradi

I read the first stride of [1]. This is going to be divisive. The recommendations are quite sane--seek student understanding over the correct answer, use examples students can relate to, etc. It's basically a few dozen pages of very se

Sorry to grand-stand a bit, but I think the narrative is missing the point of the 'lab leak theory'. The 'lab leak' is actually a bit of a misnomer. What they really mean is that it was created/modified/bred in

I dont think this has to be true. We shouod be able to build perfectly logical and deterministic type systems--and ny understanding is that Java was unambiguous before generics were added.

And if it was successful, would you have concluded that the plan worked and changed your political stance? Most people would not. Most of us come to our conclusions and make the evidence fit (and not the reverse). If you run an experiment w

There is rightly focus on whether this drug works, but the more interesting question is "assuming it does work, what then?". Now you opened up the balance of cost and effectiveness. Therein lies the nest of vipers.

So the fuckup isn't in switching the water supply, but the lack of anti-corrosion agents. I think people are learning the wrong lessons along their political ideology. If you favour small government, this is further proof that the st

Of course the unstated reality appears to be that it works . That is, the middle management was not necessary. Elite students really do make better executives than former burger flippers and rivet drivers. I know some corporations still ma

I want to thank you for responding and being honest. I understand there is a tail-centric distribution, I guess I am just surprised how tail-heavy it is. I think the media likes to write stories about people dropping 5- or 6-figures on a ga

I don't see how these numbers are possible. $12B means you need to have 1.2B players paying $10 each, or 120M players $100 each. That just does not seem feasible--there are only so many people in the world and most are not going to pla

I am still confused. Is the text not visible? If I write some text in a comment, it should still be visibe, regardless of direction/bidi code, right?

The lesson is that prestige works. 'They must be doing something right if X did not fire them for 4 years'. In a sense, this is what we wanted--no buzzwords/technologies since it largely does not matter whether I have used yo

Barring the fact that I still cannot figure out what evil thing the facbook did other than vague descriptions of definitely evil stuff, trust us : Allegedly facebook lied because it did not make its research about its algorithms public.

I think this is a perfect example of taking for granted certain privacies . See, you never actually had privacy when you were in public. It was not a right. It was just assumed to be a right, because no one was bothering to record wher

My favourite use of e is determining how many (independent) trials it would take to encounter an event of some likelihood. Eg. if an event has a 1/10 chance of occuring, how likely am I to encounter it at least once after 10 trials?

Yes, that should be preventable. The reason we end up trusating the client to a degree is that we want a client-side hit to be registered as a hit. Even if you were to simulate the client on the server, i am not sure this is preventable in

I believe it's because there are 2 conflicting goals: 1. Authoritative server 2. Client accuracy By 'client accuracy' I mean that was happens on the client actually occured. Ie. If you shoot a player, he actually got shot. Th

If they can sell them for more than they purchased, why even drive them for a bit? I think rental cars have a lower value/prestige compared to single-owner used cars (the idea being people are rougher and more careless with a rental th

I think there is a double standard applied to educational reformers like MOOCs, bootcamps, and video courses. Education largely does not work for most people who enrol. Most college students do not finish, and something like a third of univ
